Inquest Reveals Cyberbullying and School Issues in Teen's 2017 Death

Megan Evans, 14, faced online abuse and school challenges before her suicide, an ongoing inquest has heard.

  • Megan Evans was targeted by a social media group called 'I hate Megan Evans', which was reported and removed by the school.
  • Her family discovered more abusive messages on her Snapchat and Facebook accounts after her death.
  • Megan's mother, Nicola Harteveld, was not informed by the school about her daughter's behavioral changes, which included outbursts in class.
  • The school had anti-bullying measures in place, but it's unclear if these were effectively followed up in Megan's case.
  • Nicola Harteveld has since founded Megan's Starr Foundation to support mental health and anti-bullying initiatives in Pembrokeshire.
